Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Newbury Boston is appreciated for its spacious and comfortable rooms, some offering beautiful views overlooking the Public Garden. Its location is unbeatable, steps away from Newbury Street shops, making it easy to explore the city, and the in-room Nespresso is a nice touch. While generally well-regarded, some guests have felt that the hotel doesn't quite deliver the expected value for money.

Acceptable stay, some drawbacks

diligent housekeeping accessible shower billing mistakes poor breakfast

The room was quite spacious and comfortable. Housekeeping was diligent. The room was cleaned twice daily. The attention to detail impressed me. The separate bathroom shower area made moving around accessible.

At the billing, they made mistakes with the credit cards. Breakfast did not offer many choices. Staff tried to sell toasted bread as sourdough bread. I expected better service for the price.
